À propos de ce produit

Product Information

The renowned biologist Paul Nurse has spent his career revealing how living cells work. In What Is Life?, he takes up the challenge of describing what it means to be alive in a way that every reader can understand. It is a shared journey of discovery; step-by-step Nurse illuminates five great ideas that underpin biology--the Cell, the Gene, Evolution by Natural Selection, Life as Chemistry, and Life as Information. He introduces the scientists who made the most important advances, and, using his personal experiences in and out of the lab, he shares with us the challenges, the lucky breaks, and the thrilling eureka moments of discovery. Nurse writes with delight at life's richness and with a sense of the urgent role of biology in our time. To survive the challenges that face us all today--climate change, pandemic, loss of biodiversity and food security--it is vital that we all understand what life is.

Paul Nurse's writing is not just informed by long experience, but is also wise, visionary and?personal. I read the book in one sitting, and felt exhilarated by the end, as though I'd run for miles--from the author's own garden into the interior?of the?cell, back in time to humankind's most distant ancestors, and through the laboratory of a dedicated scientist at work on what he most loves to do., Wise, visionary, and personal. I read the book in one sitting, and felt exhilarated by the end, as though I'd run for miles--from the author's own garden into the interior of the?cell, back in time to humankind's most distant ancestors, and through the laboratory of a dedicated scientist at work on what he most loves to do., Paul Nurse is about as distinguished a scientist as there could be. He is also a great communicator. This book explains, in a way that is both clear and elegant, how the processes of life unfold, and does as much as science can to answer the question posed by the title. It provides the sort of clarity and understanding that could save many thousands of lives., Paul Nurse is about as distinguished a scientist as there could be. He is also a great communicator. This book explains, in a way that is both clear and elegant, how the processes of life unfold, and does as much as science can to answer the question posed by the title. It's also profoundly important, at a time when the world is connected so closely that any new illness can sweep from nation to nation with immense speed, that all of us--including politicians--should be as well informed as possible. This book provides the sort of clarity and understanding that could save many thousands of lives., In this vibrant, lively book, Paul Nurse, discoverer of some of the crucial genes that control the division of cells, takes a deep dive into biology by illuminating five of the essential characteristics of 'life.' The writing is so spirited and knowledgeable--and the five sections so full of wondrous revelations--that I could not put it down. This is a book that will inspire a generation of biologists., Wise, visionary, and personal.
